Abstract:

La positivité, facteur commun et latent entre l'estime de soi, l'optimisme et la satisfaction de vie, est la “disposition de base” de l’affect positif. L’objectif de cette thèse est d’explorer l’influence de la positivité sur la santé mentale. Elle se décompose en trois objectifs : - (1) définir la place de la positivité dans la subjectivité de la santé mentale en proposant : (a) de concevoir la structure de la dimension cognitive de manière multidimensionnelle, impliquant la présence des dimensions Cognition positive et Cognition négative, (b) d’adapter et de valider l’échelle de positivité d

This study explores the experiences of people with MHCs in work.

The current study therefore sought to explore the ways in which a sample of parents whose adolescent children were experiencing mental health difficulties made sense of their experiences.

For people with mental health problems gaining employment is a significant factor in social inclusion and often seen as an indication of mental well-being. Mental health services are dominated by a medical model of illness which focuses on the control of symptoms. In recent decades, service users have written about their experiences of "recovery" from mental illness. Recovery is about the subjective experience of wellness and can exist even if symptoms remain. This research was designed following an observation that employment seemed to be a significant factor in people's recovery. Research wa

Abstract:

A systemic review and narrative synthesis of the literature on the associations between acculturation and mental health for migrants from the Horn of Africa to Europe. The review uses an integrative framework of acculturation and mental health to scaffold the research.

The empirical paper presents qualitative research which explores established female Somali migrants' conceptualisation of the term mental wellbeing.

Abstract:

This study explores in depth the narratives and experience of recovery from a convenience sample of seven participants with a schizophrenia diagnosis, but now remitted (Andreasen et al, 2005). Three lifeworlds (phases) emerged using hermeneutic phenomenology: (A) Losing existential grounding; (B) Being-within-the-system (i.e. hospitalised); and (C) Outside schizophrenia. Outside has a double meaning as it both emerges from the narratives and also is an important base for existential exploration: what else needs to happen except psychiatry? Each lifeworld had a different meaning and different b

Abstract:

This thesis examines whether residing in a mobile home predicts higher rates of psychological distress. Using combined data from the General Social Survey (1994-2006), I differentiate housing into four distinct categories: mobile homes, conventional homes, apartments, and townhouses. After looking extensively at the history and experience of residing in a mobile home, particularly when viewed through a social stress theory lens, I hypothesize that mobile home residents should have higher levels of psychological distress after socioeconomic variables are controlled. While mobile home residen

Abstract:

This research project explored how mothers experiencing depression after childbirth perceived their mental illness. Illness perceptions were assessed across the dimensions outlined within the Self-Regulatory Model (SRM, Leventhal, Nerenz & Steele, 1984) via the use of the Revised Illness Perceptions Questionnaire (IPQ-R, Moss-Morris, Weinman, Petrie, Horne, Cameron & Buick, 2002). The psychometric properties of the IPQ-R within this clinical sample and relationships between illness perceptions, depression severity and maternal bonding were assessed. A literature review of the use of the IPQ an

Abstract:

The decisions made by Mental Health Professionals (MHPs) are of utmost significance for providing the highest quality care to service users. The assessment of risk is one of the pivotal processes that MHPs undertake frequently, as per government policy guidelines, and in order to safeguard patients and the public. Although Risk Assessment Proformas (RAPs) consume a proportion of MHP time and resources, very little research has been undertaken to address factors that might affect their most optimal utilisation in practice. Previous literature suggests that medical decisions, like decision makin

Abstract:

Previous research has shown low rates of seeking professional help for mental distress in the UK Explanatory Model (EM) theory (Kleinman, 1977) can be used to understand this. The media influences EMs in the general population, while at the same time it is likely that EMs presented in the media reflect those held by the general population. Thematic analysis of 10 UK newspapers was undertaken. Eight types of portrayal of mental distress and help-seeking were distinguished as themes. EMs presented were relatively crude reflections of medical models; except for one theme which used more holistic
